Yippie hurray! Now I have now accomplished my goal to be a member of the team that will be sent to Nicaragua 2009.
Now what?! yes, off course I need to start preparing myself for the trip. But since it's 6 months left until we'll fly there. I have a lot of time to practice my Spanish ;)
I have also applied for some summer courses at the University. Both in Gothenburg and Halmstad. In Halmstad, they have several courses regarding renewable energy. So I hope it'll be one of them.

The call...
After the interview on the 4th of April, I continued my trip in Stockholm by visiting another one of my cousins. It was a looong long time ago since I made them a visit. So it was great fun to see them all again.
On Monday afternoon, just as I was about to hit the sofa to see some meaningless TV show my phone rang. I didn't recognise the number but took the call anyway. Lucky me!
It was Erik, from VFSN. As soon as he had presented himself my thoughts were all over the place;
"-why is he allready calling me?" -"please don't tell me that I didn't pass..." and so on...
But no, Erik had only good new to deliver. They had picked me, to be a part of the team that they would send to Nicaragua this autumn. Yay yay yay and double yay! My hart stopped and I had to ask him if he was joking. He wasn't...
Just when he asked me if I needed some time to think about this and decided whether I wanted to go or not, my phone lost the connection and the call was disconnected!
Oh shit! Now he might think that I didn't wanna go?! please please please phone, find the connection again!
And it did and Erik called me back. I shouted: "I don't need any time to think this over. I'd love to go!"
Some pics from the trip:
This is my cousin Maries oldest boy Kevin. He really love buses, trains and trams. As you maybe can see from the look in his face =)
And here is Kevins younger brother Linus. I assure you, he was happy to have me arround as well. He didn't wana show of in front of the camera ;)
This is Jacob. My cousin Emmas boy who is a very cool and hipp boy!
This is Emmas and Jacobs cat Lillebror, who joined me on the sofa when I stayed at there home.
This is my grandparents house. A upgraded summer cottage in the archipelago of Stockholm.

The very moment, the interview
It was now time for me to convince the people in the VFSN organisation that I would be a perfect candidate to send to Nicaragua!!!
I had been thinking about this day, this interview and this moment ever since I got the notice. I spent some time with my cousins and their kids the days prior to this day and also during the hours before. This helped me to relax and not to be so stressed and nervous about it. Those feelings showed up anyway, while I was waiting for my turn...
I was interviewed by Erik and Karin for about 20-30 minutes. It felt a lot longer I can say... And the interview was quite tricky and I didn't feel so good about it when I left. Actually I was pretty sure that I had screwed it up, when I weren't able to answer all questions and some of my answers was also very diffuse and messed up.
Anyway, that was my opinion. Erik told me that they would give me an answer within the next 2 week.
How was I suppose to be able to wait that long??? 2 weeks?? I would be crazy!
But, what to do? It was only to wait....
